human.tech launches Clean SDK for zero-knowledge identity checks and sanctions screening

human.tech has released Clean SDK, a toolkit for zero-knowledge identity verification and sanctions screening, alongside Aztec v5. The product is designed to let users prove identity-related claims without exposing personal data. According to human.tech, the SDK includes three verification layers: Proof of Innocence, Proof of Personhood, and Proof of Clean Hands. The company also said its first application, Shield, supports private asset transfers between Ethereum and Aztec. In that setup, users and AI agents can prove the sender’s legitimacy and the compliance status of funds when bridging assets. The news was carried by CryptoBriefing and cited by Techub News.

NIGHT rebounds 19% after Wanchain bridge hack as Hoskinson pushes ZK overhaul

Midnight token NIGHT rebounded 19% after a Wanchain bridge exploit briefly sent it to an all-time low, according to CoinDesk. Charles Hoskinson said the incident showed why the crypto industry needs to move away from legacy bridge infrastructure. He tied the exploit to a broader call for a revamp in zero-knowledge, or ZK, systems rather than continued reliance on older cross-chain bridge designs. The report was written by Oliver Knight and edited by Jamie Crawley. CoinDesk published the story on July 22, 2026. The article frames the attack as both a market event for NIGHT and a technical warning about bridge architecture still widely used across the industry.

Wanchain bridge exploit moves 290 million NIGHT, token rebounds nearly 19% in 24 hours

Wanchain’s cross-chain bridge was hit by an exploit on Monday, with 290 million NIGHT tokens moved out, according to Odaily. The incident sent NIGHT down about 43% at one point, pushing the token to an all-time low before it recovered part of the loss. Over the following 24 hours, NIGHT rebounded nearly 19%. Charles Hoskinson said the issue stemmed from a legacy bridge architecture built by a third party. He said AI-driven vulnerability discovery is speeding up the exposure of flaws across software systems, not just in crypto. Hoskinson added that zero-knowledge systems such as Midnight offer a longer-term answer by replacing trust in bridge operators and multisig arrangements with cryptographic proofs.
